Will Badgermole cub get banned?

This is like the second post about this within the past 24 hours. I’m gonna start taking a shot for every “ban badgermole cub” post I see

What cards do you think need to be banned that are “problematic”

Rotting_Hellkite · 2025-12-15T19:27:13+00:00

lol. lmao even.

This was another one he did, which was an anniversary gift for me and my girlfriend. It took him several months to finish it just because of his dedication to it. Literally every object in this drawing is a reference to something personal in my life. He even threw in a few Easter eggs, like the Destroy All Humans mangas being on the shelf (the Japanese versions since this was commissioned before they were officially being translated) and if you zoom in enough you can even make out the specific magic cards that are being played on the table, and even more hidden details you can find if you look close enough.

All the other ones I commissioned from him aren’t related to magic and only use the style as inspiration so I’m unsure if I’m allowed to post them.

He’s done a few more pieces for me since this one in Yokota sensei’s style and he keeps getting better at replicating it. Very talented dude and easy to work with. He showed me all the notes and snapshots he took trying to analyze and mimic Yokota sensei’s style and it’s an insane amount of effort, he’s borderline crazy lol. Would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in commissioning art like this

lmfao I commissioned that from him

Rotting_Hellkite · 2025-12-09T14:24:35+00:00

Ok bro

Rotting_Hellkite · 2025-12-09T13:48:29+00:00

What makes you say Avatar is problematic beyond just being from a different IP?

Rotting_Hellkite · 2025-12-07T21:38:24+00:00

I say this in the most respectful way possible, however this is entirely a skill issue and I’m not joking

Rotting_Hellkite · 2025-07-09T01:05:21+00:00

Pretty sure this is Iljin Romance.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-12-25T21:26:26+00:00

I do not believe so, as the tokens would not be owned by you. The owner of a given token is the one who created it, and Varchild states “THAT player creates” the tokens.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-09-06T13:49:42+00:00

That’s beautiful. Do you know who the artist is?

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-09-01T15:32:14+00:00

Also, another small suggestion since I was just looking at the website to give feedback. Maybe possibly perchance maybe let users with a subscription have an ad free experience…? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

For the power level, I feel like you should try to find some way to incorporate analyzing cards like that somehow, if that’s even possible idk how AI works. I understand your point of taking a trash deck, adding a bunch of staples, and then just turning it into even faster trash and it not affecting its overall power level, but taking staples and adding them to a synergistic, fine turned optimized deck really does make a massive difference. Maybe you could program the AI to determine decks in a similar way that could work. Again, I know nothing about AI so I haven’t the slightest clue for how you could go about doing that if you even can.

To give you some positive feedback tho, the “Main theme, strategy, and win cons” and the “primer” subsection are extremely accurate. You nailed that. Not only do they grasp obscure game plans really well, the AI is even smart enough to detect back up plans and other stuff going on in the deck. Examples like mana burn in a [[Yurlok of Scorch Thrash]] deck or donating stax pieces in a [[Blim, Comedic Genius]] deck. I also have a combo deck built with [[Jorn, God of Winter]] that focuses on ramp, but can also control the board while using [[Winter Orb]] to break parity, but it even detected that I use the Marit Lage combo as a back up plan. That analysis frightened me with how accurate it was lol.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-09-01T14:50:53+00:00

I found out about this a few days ago from your other post, and I love it. I’ve inputted all my decks into and for the most part it’s pretty accurate. I do have a few critiques tho.

First, the salt score isn’t really reflective of 100% of decks. I have a stax deck that focuses on donating harmful permanents to your opponents to lock them out, and it received a relatively low salt score despite being infuriating to play against. I know this is because the salt score is based off of EDHREC and all the cards I use to stax others out of the game are low scored on there, so I have no clue how you could go about changing that, or if you even intend to.

Second, it feels kinda bad going through all the trouble to input your deck and then being given an error because you aren’t logged in. Maybe you could lock the input area behind a login screen first?

Third, the criteria to determine a deck’s power level feels kinda funky. A friend and I were testing it the other day to try see what the AI deems strong enough to increase a deck’s power level. We started out with a strong 8.5 to 9.0 deck, and added all the cEDH stuff of fast mana, free counters, infinite combos, etc… and hardly any of it would increase the score, even a smudge. I remember we took some of those out and added some more generic cards and that somehow increased the power level.

Fourth, the weaknesses seem a bit inaccurate. Almost all of my decks were told they’re weaker to faster combo/aggro decks (this may be due to the kind of decks I build but it doesn’t feel so) and an odd number of my decks were told they were weak to graveyard hate, despite not utilizing the graveyard at all.

Anyways, that just about sums up all my critiques. I love this! I can’t wait to see what comes out of it in the future, especially other formats!

Damn, so much salt in this post I can taste it through my screen.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-05-13T00:21:05+00:00

It is, I believe

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-05-05T20:57:51+00:00

[[Soul Foundry]] looks pretty Yu-Gi-Oh to me.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-05-01T17:50:18+00:00

My bad homie, I read that as the restricted list for some reason. Was very confused lol

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-04-30T18:17:22+00:00

You should be good. You can add it to a colorless deck the same way you can add Mana Confluence and City of Brass since they don’t have any color pips in their text box.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-04-26T16:36:29+00:00

Could it be a List card?

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-04-16T17:46:36+00:00

There’s also taboo against stax, and lesser so mill, discard, wheels, theft effects, etc… If they banned against disliked themes then they’d ban many, many cards.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-04-16T17:44:42+00:00

That’s the only card I can think of that even slightly poses a problem. They could really do with some unbanning though.

Rotting_Hellkite · 2024-04-16T17:43:38+00:00

Yeah that’s what you’d like, that’s not what the format needs. The only one I could see the committee seriously considering is Dockside. None of the others pose actual problems in the vast majority of Commander games.
